[h2]Saber - Benienma[/h2]

Yes! The box had opened, assaulting the dark Kiara not only with sparrows, but with a direct strike to her luck, crippling her advantage if only for an instant! Benienma drew her katana immediately, pointing the tip directly towards the flickering walls of the barrier. Even as she drove the blade towards it, she felt the agonizing sensation blaze up her arms.

But she couldn't let herself be stopped here. The anti-spiritual barrier wasn't nearly as strong, she could feel it! The redheaded enma had to do everything she could! She had to!

There was the tiniest gap, the smallest hole in the flickering purple at the tip of her blade. She had to push through!

It was widening... it was beginning to be forced open!

She had to pierce through it! For the sake of her Master, for Jason, for Kiara, for everyone else on this island and in this world!

The hole grew wider, and...!

Kiara fell to her knees, gasping. Her own barrier had collapsed entirely. This soul-eating monster that had the same form as her... she was so incredibly strong. She couldn't maintain her mudras any longer. Even with her evil counterpart's distraction, she hadn't been able to stave off the attack for long enough.

She could see that hand, reaching towards her...

All she had left was her own defiance.

And so she raised her hands, to offer a prayer with her last breath as that hand neared her face. Perhaps in her last moments, she could at least try to enforce the property of anti-evil upon herself...

Those fingertips were almost there, almost scraping at her forehead...

There was a flash of silver and red.

The evil Kiara's right arm was suddenly in the air, detached above the elbow with a perfectly clean cut. It spiraled several times, end over end, spurting blood as it did, before landing several meters away with a wet thump, leaking red onto the grass, the fingers twitching for a few moments before going still.

Benienma skidded to a halt, flicking the blood from her blade and smoothly sheathing it. The remains of the barrier, shattered like glass, briefly drifted through the air before dissipating into nothing.

She'd made it in time!

"This time, I won't let you escape, Sessyoin Kiara! The enma's judgement shall send you to the hell you have earned dechi!" the sparrow girl declared, hand still on the hilt of her katana, "I won't allow you to become an evil of humanity!"
